Military Suspense Provision

Definition
Temporarily suspends coverage while the insured is on active military service; when service ends, coverage resumes with no loss of benefits and no coverage gap. Related premium facts: health policies offer premium modes (annual cheapest, monthly most expensive) but never single-premium/paid-up options, and a waiver of premium provision waives premiums after the insured has been totally disabled for the period stated in the policy.
In plain English
Coverage hits pause for deployment, not delete.
